GOQii's India Fit Report 2022 recently conducted 'COVID-19 Trust in Vaccines and Vaccination’ survey with over 10000+ users. The report tells us how 91 per cent of Indians feel vaccination will protect them from COVID-19. Around 9 per cent of the respondents still doubt the vaccination process. Some of the respondents thought about whether it will work on upcoming variants. The report also showcased various aspects of health across parameters such as steps taken, lifestyle diseases, BMI, nutrition, water, stress, sleep etc.; all of which are classified according to gender and key cities.

The report highlights that 29.31 per cent of Indians are suffering from depression in 2021. However, the good news is that this percentage has seen a 32 per cent decrease since 2020 where 43 per cent of Indians were plagued by depression. This may be due to people getting the chance to be more active as lockdowns were lifted and people literally got the chance to get back on their feet again.
